Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-D2 steel good for tactical knives?

CPM-D2 is a premium tool steel that holds an extremely sharp edge longer than most stainless steels. At 60-62 HRC hardness, it provides excellent wear resistance for heavy cutting tasks while remaining tough enough for hard use applications.

Is the pocket clip reversible for left-handed carry?

Yes, the deep-carry clip is reversible and designed for tip-up carry. You can mount it on either side of the handle to accommodate your preferred hand and carry position.

What is the difference between this and other Claymore models?

The 9070BK features a plain drop-point blade, while other Claymore variants may have different blade shapes or edge configurations. This model focuses on the versatility of the plain edge for general cutting tasks.

Does this knife have a lanyard attachment point?

Yes, the Claymore includes a lanyard hole for additional retention options during tactical or outdoor use.

What maintenance does the CPM-D2 blade require?

CPM-D2 is a carbon tool steel that can develop patina over time. Keep the blade clean and dry, and apply a light coat of oil if storing for extended periods to prevent corrosion.
